An Indignant Jursn an.

An indignant juryinan yesterday met a
reporter and wanted to know what all this
rumpus about rotten juries meant He
said, " You say everybody knew that Casey
was guilty, for he admitted his guilt. Now,
| was present in the Courtroom and heard
all the testimony, and am willing to swear
that no such evidence was given. Casey
stoutly denied the robbery"
When the reporter called attention to the
fact that Chief Dillman testified to Casev's
confessing to him, the juryman turned up
| his nose IN the most suggestive manner.
| Well, said he, would l believe him ?
No, sir. He was elected Chief of Police.
and when he took the oath of office we ali
supposed he knew the sanctity of it. Has
| he not forfeited all respect? Does he not
| to-day allow faro banks to run in this CITY,
no less than five Of them openly in viola
ton of law and his oath? Do we suppose
! he is not aware of it? Do we think that
they are not allowed to run under his sane
ton and for pay? Why sir, one faro
| dealer told me the other day that they have
! to pay more under the present system
than they did when licensed under
the administration of Mayor Brown. Do
you suppose that any man who sits upon a
jury in any case is going to believe such a
man under oath? No, sir. He is beyond
the pale of belief; his oath is worth no
more than a Chinaman's. Let him clean
his own skirts Let him confess that he
knows nothing of these gambling games
| being run on j, X and Second streets, the
open and notorious sale of lottery tickets
and the drawing of lotteries in Chinatown.
Let him admit that he does not profit by
their running. Let him, in other words,
confess himself an idiot, and then, and not
| till then, will there be confidence placed IN
what he testifes to even under OATH"

Interesting Case Decided.

Monday afternoon the case of Maria
Wilson vs.. z. Riordan was heard in Judge
Van Fleets Court, aud decided in favor of
the plaintiff. The facts involved in the
case are such as to make it an interesting
one. The plaintiff colored woman-was
a slave in Alabama in 1911, and Joseph
Goslin purchased her for 81 600 He came
to California in 1919, but afterwards re-
turned, and in 1851 brought Maria with
him to California, and since that time the
plaintiff and Goslin have borne the de tdcto
relations of husband and wife. They set
themselves up in the laundry business, she
doing the ironing and he the washing
Maria also did the collecting, and turned
the money over to MIR. Goslin. He made
Archbishop Alemany his banker at first
and afterwards the whole amount was
placed in the hands of Bishop Riordan In
February last Go>lin died, but before diving
gave the certificate of deposit to Maria,
telling her TO bury him, pay certain debts
and to retain the balance. The whole de-
post amounted TO about 81 800. The Pub
lie Administrator interviewed in the settle
ment of the estate, claiming that under our
laws the white and colored races cannot
lawfully marry. Hence there could not in
this case be any community property and
as Goslin lett no heirs, the Administrators
ought of right to take charge OF the estate.
Archbishop Riordan gave the money into
Court, content to abide the judicial I'M
twisting of this legal knot

The Ice Business.

Jacob Hoehn, of this city, was in
Truckee few days ago, when he was in
teryiewed relative to ice ana ice crops by a
reporter of the Truckee Republican. Among
other things, he stated that the demand for
the crystal product of the Sierra was in
creasing from year to year, and that the
consumption of ice this year would exceed
that OF last year by many thousand tons.
While the crop put up along the Truckee
river was larger than ever before harvested.
yet there would be very little. if any, ice
carried over until next year The arti-
fetal ice companies interfere very little
with the sale of natural ice. and The Union
Company has a steadily-increasing bust
ness. At present ice is being shipped from
Boca, Prosser Creek and Martis Creek. The
Tahoe Ice Company aud Bronco Ice Com
pany are also shipping. In order to meet
an anticipated increased demand for next
season, the Summit Ice Company will en-
Monday commence work on a new ice
house which will increase their storing
capacity about 10000 tons. With an in
creasing population on the Pacific coast.
the ice business promises to assume NAM
moth proportions. Mr.. Hoehn thought that
the report that the Los Gatos Ice Company
intended to find an ice location on the
Truckee river might have some foundation.
The Union Ice Company had no fear of
serious competition there was business
enough for all.

EDS. RECORD UNION: II there is one
thing more than another wanted at present
to boom Sacramento it is good swimming
baths for boys and girls, which could be
built and maintained at very small ex-
pense. At a place fenced of near the Pioneer
Flour Mills, or at the foot of / street, where
the rotten piling defaces the CITY front, or
opposite the planning mills near the R
street levee, a crib might be built with
varying depths, Stats at the sides and bot
toms, the river water running through to
keep it clean, and common board roof
overhead. Steam pipes should lead from the
mills or water works to use their refuse
steam and keep the temperature of the
baths even. A small fee would have TO be
charged for attendance, bathing suits and
| towels. If the above are too far down
| town or too near the river, a lot rented or
| bought near the Phoenix Mills, Thirteenth
and streets, with two separate tanks, one
| for men and the other for women, and on
the same principle as the above, could be
arranged using the waste steam from the
mills to heat the baths. In this case the
| city would have to furnish the water at q
nominal charge to make the baths paw. A
| small flowing stream would have to run all
[ day to keep the water fresh and cleanlv.
Now, would this not pay the city and
| citizens by keeping more of the people at
home instead of going to sea coast and
mountain, as well as provide pleasure and
| benefit to such as cannot go to those places
| Would it not pay Ivy attracting people from
! the surrounding towns to visit our city for
| health and bathing, as well as teaching
| them to swim and to save life should occa-
sion require? Would it not pay to have
| their children learn to swim for it is as
necessary for them to know how as it is
for them to learn their A, B, CPs.
In some of the Eastern cities, and in
most cities in Europe, they have free swim
ming baths. They have clubs organized to
| encourage swimming races, and give
money, medals and prizes for the best
swimmers. If any number of the people
OF the interior of California should be on
| the ferryboat crossing from San Francisco
to Oakland in a fog, and collision oc-
! CURED, seven out of ten would go to the
[ bottom, and all for the want of not know
ing how to swim. a college education
would not save them. Our Sacramento
Improvement committee want to do some
| thing TO boom the city. Here, then, is
| their chance In future communication
| propose to write how to save another
| life and how to save your own.

why the Boom Continues

Two real estate dealers from Los Angeles
were on the Eastern bound train Sunday
and expressed themselves freely to a re-
porter while enjoying a short stop in the
city.
" 1 tell you, sir, no land in creation is
worth $1,000 per acre, said one in response
to question.
{" Yes, but the climate" began the re-
porter.
"Oh. hang the climate. Those Eastern
manufacturers and money kings are the
very fellows who go wild over nothing
they have money to spend, and we're the
chaps to rake it in; why, lots anywhere
along the beach within few miles OF
Santa Monica sell at high prices. All you
have to do is TO stake out town and offei
lots, the gudgeons are on hand and ready
| for the bait. Half the country between
San Bernardino and Los Angeles is laid
out in town lots, nine-tenths of them be-
ing in the midst of wheat fields"
. How much longer will this boom con-
tinue2" was asked.
Continue until this immigration of Co.
900 year ceases; because ten or twenty
thousand people spend money enough
daily to keep the boom going"
Before the train started they went in
search of some choice fruit, and expressed
! much disappointment that they did not
find what they wished at the depot.
